Absolutely beautiful! rodneyat New Username: rodneyat Post Number: 7 Registered: 2-2009 Posted on Monday, March 23, 2009 - 9:16 am:    Wow...$1500 with no reserve. I am sure it is not going to stay at that price long. I have never personally been a fan of the MK shape. But, that one is quite nice. jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 2155 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - 4:30 am:    Rodney. That bass has the 'newish' Balance K body shape. The MK originally had a standard point body. In this case, the MK is an indicator of the elecronics package, front and rear laminates and purpleheart neck laminates. it's a very nice looking bass.

I'm sure it sounds like a beast though. Studio bass anyone?

Depending on how you look at it. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7787 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 - 12:23 pm:    He's guessing at the weight; he doesn't have the bass with him.
